The competition saw 34 videos being received in the space of five weeks, from 13 countries. Some of the Japanese participants were students from the Nihonkogakuin College in Tokyo. The winning videos were then chosen by WIRED magazine and Panasonic.These videos were then used in an online advertising campaign across Japan available from the 23rd of July.Yuko Ttetsu, web communication manager, consumer marketing division at Panasonic Corporation said: “What excited us most is the young talented people’s reaction to watching their creations on a big screen like the VIERA as opposed to the usual smartphone or laptop screens.”“We realised that TV can connect with younger generations from this perspective and we plan to deepen our engagement with young creators across the world," he added.
